i will see you in the next life.

Quiero darle un abrazo a este viejo.

Thinking about. Stanley Pines. Once summer, not long after Weirdmaggedon. Sitting in his seat, staring at the tv but realising slowly he's not really watching TV, he's listening.

Listening to Soos, taking a tour group around the Shack, his voice confident and happy, eagerly telling tourists all kinds of tall tales. Soos, with his young son strapped to his chest, held close and dear to his heart, always knowing he is loved and wanted by his father.

Listening to Wendy and Melody, laughter turning to deeper conversations in the gift shop as Wendy pours out her latest dating drama and Melody listens sympathetically--not quite a mother, but an older sister figure is all Wendy wants at the moment.

Listening to a distant boom coming from the basement, a cause for some concern that fades quickly as three peals of laughter follow soon after. One deep and familiar, as comforting and close as the sound of a ship's motor and the open sea. One young and high, cracking with adolescent awkwardness. One loud and cackling, a hint of madness never quite leaving it but more settled than it used to be. And Stan figures it's probably time to send someone down to drag Ford, Dipper and McGucket upstairs before they forget what light is and get too nerdy.

Besides it's nearly dinner time, and he's listening to Mabel's steady, unrelenting chatter in the kitchen, punctuated by a few grunts of acknowledgment from Abuelita as they prepare a meal.

And Stan feels a strange, unusual sensation wash over him, something he hasn't felt for over half a lifetime, by a boat on a beach. A sensation of contentment, of security, of peace. And he realises that if he stood up and walked into any one of the rooms in the Shack he would be greeted with smiles and faces lighting up to see him and cheerful cries of his name.

And he looks down at the darned pig sleeping beside his chair and things, with oddly misty eyes, that he spent thirty years trying to find his brother again. And he succeeded--but somehow, he got more than that. He had formed around him, without even realising it, a family.

okay likeee i know we all shit on stan and ford for being petty as hell during weirdmageddon (stan just hold his damn hand. ford WHY did you feel the need to correct his grammar.) but also? i have always felt like stan was so justified in wanting a thank you. like to the point where i also get pissed at ford for withholding any sort of genuine gratitude for so long.

do i get why he did? absolutely. in fact, it’s like, a super well-written conflict between them and reflects both of their mindsets perfectly. when you really think about ford’s point of view, you realize he still believes stan intentionally sabotaged his future in high school, was the reason he spent 30 years dimension-hopping, blatantly ignored ALL of his warnings about how dangerous it was to start the portal up again, and (albeit accidentally) brought him back when ford was finally about to defeat bill cipher. yeah! he has every right to pissy! i would be too!!

but like, all that said, it just makes me SO sad for stan. he went to such great lengths to bring ford back. he spent all 30 of those years learning sciences and engineering he could never have imagined understanding as the “stupid twin.” he faked his own DEATH. his entire life was a lie for DECADES. and we brush that off because stan has always been a liar and a conman but how much of that was due to his circumstances? being on the streets at 17 doing whatever the hell he had to for enough money to eat, and then losing his brother and desperately needing to pay fords mortgage so he could stay and work to bring him back… stan was so dedicated for so many years, did literally whatever he had to, stan pledged his life to righting his wrongs and saving his brother, and the man he did all of this for has nothing to say to him. “be out of my house by the end of the summer. give me my life back. and no, i won’t say thank you.”

its no wonder stan is petty bro!!! that feels like such a betrayal! i did so much for you and you can’t even give me a single thank you? you have to uproot my life for a second time? my god, at this point i cant even blame him for refusing to hold his hand even if it WAS to save the world. sometimes you’ve gotta be a petty bitch!!

Stanley Pines. My favorite antihero. I love him so much.

We have all seen the concept that being in a relationship with a villain is better than a hero. The hero will sacrifice you to save the world versus the villain who will sacrifice the world to save you.

Sanley Pines decides to do that for his Estranged Brother. He decides to risk the entire dimension so that he could get his brother back. His brother who

Stanley assumed hated him.

Had already not spoken to Stanley for 10 years.

upon speaking to him for the first time in 10 years, tries to send Stanley away permanently.

Stanley will always blame himself for losing in the first place. Even tho both times it was an accident.

And to do so Stanley who

has been considered by everybody, including himself, to be "the dumb twin"

was written off by his high school as a FUTURE FAILURE,

was disowned by his family for his mistake,

spends 30 years learning quantum mechanics, welding, circuitry, and numerous other academic/trade fields to bring his brother home. All things that were originally done by Tech Genius Fiddleford McGucket or GT kid Stanford who still had help from a literal actual God/demon. And STANLEY IS SUCCESSFUL.

Stanley SUCCESSFULY fakes his own death to make sure that nobody questions the disappearance of his brother in order to buy himself enough time to get his brother back. He did this so effectively that his own family bought it.

To be incredibly clear, Stanley does become a traditional hero when he sacrifices himself to save the world. But also, Stanley didn't do it to save the world. He did it to save his family, spesificaly his brother, niece and nephew. And he does it by perfectly impersonating the brother that He hasn't known in 40 years. He impersonates him so well that he TRICKS THE LITERAL ACTUAL DEITY THAT HIS BROTHER HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH. Because as dumb and aloof and unbothered as Stanley Pines tries to appear, he is genuinely one of the smartest and most caring characters in gravity falls. It's just not the book smarts and conventional love that everybody typically looks for. (Stanley censoring himself in front of the kids while also letting them break the law is hilarious and I love him)

This is not to say that Mr mystery did nothing wrong. There are a lot of things that he did wrong and a lot of things that he could have handled better but. That being said he is still my favorite because he is so human and still tries so hard. I don't know, man, there is something super endearing about the amount of effort he puts into his family. He's an incredibly well written character. And listen I understand that 30 years is a long time and if I was Stanford I would be mad but also, but if my supposed screw-up sibling managed to understand and rebuild a portal But I needed help from a literal actual god/demon to create I would be impressed as hell. And Ford only said thank you because he felt obligated to. (Which again is the hero mindset of all sacrifice you to save the world because Ford is sacrificing his relationship with Stanley again to save the world)(and Stanley just wants his brother back so even though Ford doesn't mean the apology Stan still takes it because at least it was said)

I know this comes off anti Ford, which is not how it's intended, I love Ford so much and I'll do a post for him later. (If I remember) I just feel like Stanley is slept on so much for being such a wonderful character. And gahhhhh this show is so good and I love these old men.

Thinking about how Stan, who spent his entire early adulthood as a homeless criminal on the run, had to become just as nearly as well studied in physics and engineering as his brother just to get the portal working again

Thinking about how Ford, who spent his entire early adulthood becoming an incredibly intelligent scholar with multiple doctorates, quickly became an infamous criminal and thief on the run after the portal incident just to stay alive

They are just.... They're so...

UGH- these old men vex me.

Newly discovered appreciation for Dragon Ball characters during rewatching and rereading, today's edition: Bulma.

Found a feral little boy in the woods, built a radar to find mysterious divine artifacts as a teenager, changed the world in the process, learned a foreign language within a week to fly a spaceship to another planet, looked at the objectively worst man in the universe, asked "is anyone going to fuck him?" and didn't wait for an answer. Ten years later he's her trophy husband. A malewife. Congratulations Bulma, you took a murderous genocidal maniac and made him your little bitch. Look at him. He's into it.

Nobody does it like her.

Could you draw that "I trust you" scene with Mabel and Stan but with the relativity AU? (The stan twins and pine twins swap ages au)

OF COURSE, I WILL GLADLY DRAW THEM!!! 💥💥💥

I’m gonna post a long winded thesis about my thoughts on this AU, my take on the AU, and two additional arts under the cut because ooooh boy it’s a tad bit long lol. Also, please please forgive the formatting, I’m writing this all on the fly and it’s extremely disjointed, sorry- 💥

I know there’s the ‘canon’ Relativity AU designs and character dynamics, however I don’t really like them that much ngl. I feel like it mostly just ends up with ‘Mabel and Dipper get switched with Stan and Ford with no nuances once so ever’ and that BLOWS!!! There’s so much potential there and no one is playing with it!! YOU GUYS DON’T EVEN HAVE MABEL PRETENDING TO BE DIPPER, WHATS THE POINT????

Not only that but I feel like making Dipper and Mabel’s dynamic just Ford and Stan’s when they’re adults is a HUGE simplification of their characters. Like, Mabel and Dipper fight, but they don’t fight like Stan and Ford, they’re not as hard headed and stubborn. Mabel would commit some crimes yes, but I don’t believe she would get into some of the heavy shit Stan had in his past. I refuse to believe Mr. Dipper ‘Undiagnosed Anxiety Disorder’ Pines would fall for Bill’s flattery as easily as Ford did.

The Pines Twins are very different from the Mystery Twins. Mabel and Dipper didn’t grow up with a father constantly comparing the two and pinning them against each other, outright telling one kid they’ll always be a failure while the other is going to have the burden of making their family rich. They never had that tension. They wouldn’t be walking on eggshells around eachother as adults.

I know that makes the concept sound boring to some, ‘Where’s the fun in the AU if you take away the sibling fighting’. You cowards, you can still have it, young Stan and Ford are RIGHT THERE. During the second half of the show when Dipper comes back through the portal, instead of having the older set of twins, something that doesn’t male sense with their characters, have a building tension that’s going to explode soon and keep it between Stan and Ford, don’t take it away from them. If anything, I think taking away the resentment and anger growing between the two and giving it to Mabel and Dipped is a butchering of all the characters.

Sure that means some of the episodes would have to change or be completely erased, but that’s fine!!! Make up some new ones!!! Get silly with it!!!

Mabel and Dipper talk about feelings, Stan and Ford don’t. Mabel and Dipper can’t stay mad at each other, Stan and Ford will try and stay mad for decades because being angry is easier than being upset.

In my idea of this AU that fight at the end of Weirdmageddon HAS to be between Stan and Ford, and Stan HAS to still be the one getting his memories erased.

💥 Post Not-What-He-Seems Relativity AU Rambling Below 💥

Dipper is a paranoid man, fool him once you’re never going to fool him again. He would never in a million years ever work with Bill again. Ford however is an extremely lonely child, both he and his brother are desperate for any type of positive attention. I think Bill would see him as a potential protege, especially since Ford is a ‘freak’ like he is and the kid is extremely smart for his age. He’s malleable, Bill probably thinks he could shape him uo to be the perfect lackey.

Ford, being the lonely kid he is, probably does fall for the praise initially. He craves attention and Bill pushes all the right buttons and says all the right words, tries and gains his trust even if time has proven again and again that he shouldn’t be trusting the demon.

The tension between the Stan Twins would grow after Grunkle Dipper comes back because Ford is upset that Stan didn’t listen to him (even if it was for the best that he did) and that Grunkle Dipper forgave Graunty Mabel so easily because if Ford was in those shoes he wouldn’t have. It grows more and more as Ford becomes distant and Stan tries to connect with his brother to no avail. Which, of course, comes to a boiling point when Ford says he’s going to stay in Gravity Falls and learn under Grunkle Dipper. Stan is rightfully upset. He can’t go back to New Jersey by himself. It’s always just been the two of them, he needed Ford, he couldn’t handle school or their father by himself. He can’t be alone.

Unlike Mabel who just wanted one more day of summer, Stan wishes that he wouldn’t be alone, which indirectly causes Weirdmaggendon.

Stan’s prison bubble would probably be a fake New Jersey-esc town full of a bunch of little Stan running around. Town O’ Stan. A place where no Stan is left behind.

Ford says some nice words to Stan there to get him outta there but there is still this intense tension between the two.

During the Cipher Wheel Ford is the one who tackles Stan. The two fight, whining out hurtful words neither of them mean and only stop when Bill shows up and captures them. Graunty Mabel and Grunkle Dipper run off and distract Cipher in hopes that they can keep the attention on themselves long enough that their great nephews could come up with a plan to escape.

The younger twins don’t find a way out and instead, finally, have an actual talk about their feelings, one that definitely ends up in tears as the two talk about the pressure that’s put on them or how worthless they feel. After that the boys get a rush of determination to escape when Stanley has a plan. Ford immediately hates the plan but Stan insists that they do it, in his own words, ‘Let me prove I can do something right for once.’

When Bill comes back and threatens to kill either Mabel or Dipper just for the hell of it, Ford calls out that he’d like to make a deal.

He wants to work with Bill, let Bill into his mind willingly. Bill immediately jumps on that offer. Ford is a promising young kid, perfect henchmaniac potential, not to mention it would absolutely devastate Dipper is his great nephew willingly turned to Bill’s side.

He goes into Ford’s head, revealing Stanley just in time to reveal that he was trapped, panicking as he was erased with a swift left-hook along with a kid who was happy to prove he was good for something after all.

Everyone was devastated after Weirdmaggedon of course, a child had his mind completely wiped. Stanford took it the worst, he just managed to finally break down those words that others built in his head, that he was too good for Stanley or that he didn’t need a knucklehead like him dumbing down his brain, and now his brother was gone. Just like that.

We all know what happens after this, Stan gets his memory back, everyone celebrates and the Stan twins are sent home, promising each other that they’ll never let anyone try and tear them apart ever again. Dipper and Mabel stay at the shack, after all, all they could ever want is there, where else could they possibly go?

Sorry this was… extremely rambly and long, I am extremely tired and can’t think straight I have a bunch more ideas and concepts so if anyone’s desperately wants to hear them just ask I guess, sorry you read this dumb of ass essay haha 💥

Pobre futuro Trunks, nunca puede tener nada, ni siquiera un Goten.

you guys ever think about future trunks not having his own goten

Anthelmophobia : the irrational fear of worms

People: AFO killed Yoichi without hesitation or remorse! Yoichi was just a toy! He never really cared about him! He was born evil! So GLAD we finally have an evil villain that is just evil and doesn’t have a meaning!

AFO: spends 100+ years blaming Kudo for Yoichi’s death, heavily projecting to the point he kills all of Kudo’s family.

Embalms and carries around Yoichi’s hand for 100+ years. (He also refers to the hand as Yoichi in the present)

“Talks” to Yoichi in his head(this happens multiple times). Says he “needs”/“it’s all for nothing” without Yoichi.

Admits he hates thinking back on when Kudo snidely told him he killed Yoichi because it brings back all of the terrible memories(which would include Yoichi’s death and their horrible childhood. Also, see the last image for that too).

Says that all color has left the world after he heard Yoichi breaking into pieces; only a gaping hole of loss remains.

Screams at Deku not to look at him (though all he keeps saying is how he wants everyone to look at him) when Deku realizes he’s not a monster beyond understanding, not a demon lord, but just a very lonely man.

Begs to see Yoichi’s eyes, his face—you can’t go! Screams at Yoichi that he loves him more than anything, he’s hopeless without him—he’s nothing.

Horikoshi’s own words from the Da Vinci Magazine interview:

“By stripping away the things that the diabolical villain wears, I find that there are parts of him that I can empathize with as a human being. I’m going to look for it to see if it exists”

People: …nuh…nuh-uh!

Kuriza: Now that I have a chance to say it...I'm sorry my dad destroyed your planet and wiped out your race. Goku & Vegeta: *stare* Bulma: Wow, you can actually feel the awkwardness.

Half asleep DBZ AU idea based on the idea of Bura becoming the next God of Destruction mixed with Kuriza x Bura.

Just Frizea being so pissed that the position of God of destruction had been taken by a Saiyan, not just any Saiyan but Vegeta’s child. 

And then his child ends up falling in love with them, and he’s stuck between so angry because Kuriza is marrying a Saiyan, Vegeta’s child, but also realizing his son is marrying God of destruction and is very conflicted.Connection to God of destruction but also… connection to Vegeta.

Kuriza meanwhile totally chill being trophy husband to God of destruction Bura and just gets to drink wine while watching Bura destroy whole planets and kick ass.

Also just Bura who is the Saiyan the least interested in fighting and battle being the one to have the huge power and become the next of God of destruction (And being Beerus’s favorite)

How much stuff do you think Yoichi learned from the Vestiges inside of OFA. Cuz like, there's absolutely no way that your only real sense of the outside world being superhero comics made for children and All For One's big vault he was thrown in gave him any education. Whatsoever. How many completely trivial pieces of information or parts of everyday life do the others talk about casually only for Yoichi to go "I'm sorry, but I don't really know what your talking about."

This has so much angst potential however it can also be very funny. For example Yoichi hearing Nana had a child and asking her with a straight face where babies come from.

"I found this during a supply run and... I know you like sweets, so. Y'know..."

"Thank you, my hero."

"And I know it's Valentine's day, so..."

"Yes, I'll be your Valentine."

"Thank you."

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, DIOS MÍO, CUANTO AMO ESTÉ SHIPP.

kudou and yoichi are the tragic old man yaoi EVER

what do you MEAN kudou could have and should have killed yoichi but instead saved him when the rest of the world turned their backs on him

what do you MEAN they were only together for two months before All for One murdered Yoichi in front of Kudou's eyes?

what do you MEAN that their connection created One for All - the literal embodiment of hope for generations to come?

what do you MEAN that when Kudou died his essense lived on in the space he created for and because of Yoichi?

what do you MEAN that, even after death, they could be together again?

what do you MEAN that their love LITERALLY SAVES THE WORLD

yoichi took one look at kudou, asked ‘is anyone else gonna impregnate that man’ and didn’t wait for an answer

Kudo x Yoichi kinda slays ngl. "One For All emerged from the Will to resist my brother, but... the moment you reached your hand out to me... was when One For All was truly born." is one of the gayest things I ever heard.

wait until you hear about Yoichi getting Kudo pregnant in canon

i definitely feel like we as a fandom got over kudoichi situation TOO QUICKLY, BRO!!

From time to time I remember them and my chest hurts, y'know??

Kudoichi was a fucking tragedy. one of the most beautiful i've seen, but FUCK it hurts.

I haven't forgotten about them. not at all. never.

Kudoichi headcannons (yes I'll post these on every social media platform I have

What if the Tournament of Power in the Universal Survival Arc were similar to the Hunger Games?

It has a familiar theme of fighting for survival, but instead of kicking ppl off the ring ‘smash bros’ style, it’ll expand more on actual survival skills and not just fighting. The GODs would determine the winner by ‘Survival of the Fittest’!, which Universe is worthy & fit enough to live! A magnificent spectacle for the GODs, that is until their Universe gets erased

It’ll take place on a designated indestructible arena or a straight up planet with barriers, packed with variety of wildlife and ecosystems, your job is to survive! Not only from combat with other contestants, but the harsh conditions of the arena too. Frozen Tundras, Deathly Deserts, Woeful Wastelands, F*ckYouEverythingWantsToEatYou Jungles, you name it! To add more suspense, the Zenos can alter the arena with their IPad thingies. The whole tournament will be monitored and televised thoroughly for days, available to watch for all Universes.

The Rules:

•Mostly similar rules with the OG, power-ups & fusions allowed, NO Flight except for winged ppl, it’ll be more of a challenge to get around. Vehicles/Animals are allowed because I miss the Toriyama bizarre transportation themes.

•Healing items are allowed, eg: Senzu Beans, Capsules. Similar to Hunger Games, extra items can be sent to the contestants, from GODs, Spectators from back home, but there’s a limit. (Zeno be watchin 👁👁)

•Screw it, weapons are allowed, the point of the Tournament is who can survive whatever they’re thrown into. So, go absolutely ballistic, contestants! (eg: The Power Pole would be an amazing weapon! And it’s a nostalgic comeback!)

•Like the Hunger Games, you can kill other contestants. (It’ll be so cool and gives out a feeling of dread, to show the fallen contestants in big hologram screens in the sky of the arena with dystopian Omni-King anthems) But even if it’s allowed, try not to kill your own Universe contestants, the Universe with the most survivors win! Or if only one survives.

•One limitless hidden test wish to the winner. A selfish wish would get you erased, even after what you’ve been through to survive.

Cool things to mention:

•Goku could show off more than fighting, his survival skills, that he learnt since he’s small from living in the mountains!

•The other Zfighters have exemplary survival skills too, they’ve trained in various harsh environments on Earth, that aided their physical, spiritual and mental state. Eg, A17 ranges a damn Monster Island, Piccolo hangs out in Wastelands and survives only on water, Tien trains in the high mountains, etc

•Smart Contestants like Universe 3 could show off how intelligence & Tech can provide an advantage in survival too, like in Hunger Games

•Hit The Assassin would be a f*ckin menace

•Idk, most of them are a menace when I think about it (Universe 11 is still a big threat)

•There are Wolf & Fox-like, humanoid creatures in Universe 9, so they’re perfect for this setting

•I wanna see how Caulifla’s street smarts, crime gang abilities take affect in the survival Tournament

•In Hunger Games, it’s normal to team up with other Districts and betrayal comes after. So diff Universe teaming up and betraying eachother would be a sight to see, Frieza betraying Frost would have much more impact!

•Instead of being heavily prohibited, Frost’s poison would work WONDERS

•Finally, I just wanna see Frieza scavenge for crabs in rivers like the actual lizard he is or sum shid

“May the Odds be ever in Your Favour”

As always, I’m not putting down the OG Tournament Of Power, I’m just doing a harmless What-If👍 Feel free to contribute or give constructive feedback!

Edit: NOW WITH ART, I’ll keep adding more if I have any

Yknow rewatching gravity falls makes you realize how batshit insane Ford truly was

1. Lights his face on fire instead of shaving because “it’s faster”

2. Suggests Rudolph should’ve murdered the other reindeer for making fun of him

3. Had a situationship with a triangle

oh boy it’s more unfinished fic hours as i organize my notes

this one is gochi except Goku didn’t bonk his head and thus is Kakarot 👀 i don’t often write in past tense so please forgive any hiccups

Chi-Chi and Kakarot met as children when she caught him gobbling up offerings at a spirit house. She was as dismayed at the theft from the shrine as she was at him eating the orange rinds along with the rest of the fruit.

"That's stealin'!"

The boy looked around with genuine bafflement, a simian tail wriggling behind him. "From who? There’s nobody here. If they wanted to keep their food, they should’ve protected it."

"Well," she blustered, "I'm here now."

So saying, she attacked. To her intense frustration, the monkey boy continued to chomp at an orange as he fought her. Almost as if he was playing instead of truly fighting.

Confirming her suspicions, he whooped, "This is fun! I’m getting to do both of my favorite things at once."

"Ugh! If you're gonna eat 'em, at least do it proper-like."

"What's that mean?"

"Give one here and I'll show you." She held out a hand.

Kakarot gave her a mistrusting, searching look, and clutched the mangled orange and its whole siblings to himself. 

"It'll taste better if you do," she added.

Hesitantly, he picked out the smallest one and held it out to her. Chi-Chi dug her thumbs in, piercing the rind. A fine mist of fragrant juice sprayed out.

Kakarot watched her with animal curiosity as she peeled the orange, creeping up to watch her hands work. His tail all but vibrated with interest. She removed the pith, too, and held out a segment of the orange to him. He took the segment, sniffed it twice, licked it, then seemed assured that she hadn't somehow done something to it.

His eyes lit up after he popped it in his mouth. "It does taste better without that other part."

"You shouldn't be eatin' 'em at all."

She started to lecture him but all the while she got the impression he wasn't really listening.

"I’m supposed to destroy you, but I like you. You smell good. So you can live for now, okay?"

oops i found more kakarot / chi-chi drafting

Random thought about the hybrid Saiyans...

Goten, Trunks, and Pan were all born abnormally strong compared to any full-blooded Saiyan we see, and they've been described as "tailless hybrids."

The thought just came to me today... I bet they're exactly 10 times stronger than they would've been if they'd been born with tails.

Because becoming an Oozaru makes you 10 times stronger.

Basically, they don't have the capability of transforming into Oozaru... because that extra power is already integrated into their base form. They've got the power of a giant monkey but without any of the downsides (tail is an obvious weak point, mindless rage that needs practice to control, becoming a huge target.)

This also fits with the 6th Universe Saiyans, who have evolved to be tailless... and, probably not coincidentally, are all abnormally strong in their base forms and have a much easier time transforming into Super Saiyans. Sound familiar? Yep, they're just like little Goten and Trunks!

Now imagine if little Gohan had been born without a tail. When he gets angry seeing Raditz beating up his dad, instead of his power level rising to 1300-something he jumps all the way to 13,000. Sorry Piccolo, you won't be needing that Makankosappo to poke a hole in Raditz this time... that 4-year-old is going to do it with a headbutt.

If all a corrupt politician has to do is say that "they are in favor of Palestine" to have the support of the people, then the people are stupid as fuck.

If you can't distinguish a lie from a sincere feeling, you need help.

Anyway, that fact that Maduro "won" again the elections is not something to celebreate, and im done with people, from USA mainly, saying they are happy just bc the man said "Free Palestine" a couple of days before the elections. And Im saying this as a pro palestine person. If you are from a english speaking country and you have no idea whats going on over here please shut up. We don't need uneducated opinions.

I hug my venezuela brothers and sisters in these hard times.

making a quick disclaimer here: Controversial maybe, but even if he was pro palestine for real that wouldnt change the fact that he is a cruel dictator. People are complex like that. Nothing is always black and white

and the daddiest dad is a also a dad of the two other dads and is fighting the urge to lock up these vegetables in Hyperbolic time chamber forever every minute

I love this whole crazy mess
